Sepia Saturday 127 : 26 May 2012

Our theme image for Sepia Saturday 127 - post your posts on or around Saturday 26 May 2012 - comes from the collection of the National Library of Ireland on Flickr Commons. It was taken, probably in 1910, by the photographer A H Poole and features the market at Ballybricken Green in Waterford. For those in search of prompts there are prompts-a-plenty : markets, cows, tea and coffee stalls. And of course you don't have to follow any theme, just post a post based on an old image and link to the list below.

As usual, here is a sneak preview of the next two Sepia Saturday call photographs.

But as far as Sepia Saturday 127 is concerned, just grab yourself a tea or coffee and watch your backs, there are some pretty big beasts wandering about

I'm obviously starting Alzheimer as I can't quite recollect which is a repost and what's not!! And my first comment was a reminder I didn't connect yet to Sepia Saturday... Alan, can't a guy ever go out for a drink, or something? Better make this Sepia Sunday... OMG, it past 2 am... Leave me alone. Just read the damn thing, and enjoy!!!... It's quite nice, actually... A glimpse of Montreal, o course...And don't believe everything you see in the medias. We are still hospitable and charming, even if there are a few protests... just a few!!:)~ HUGZ

Brubaker's post interests me, but Tony's worries me a tad...Why is that??? And why do I call Tony, "Tony" and Mike, "Brubaker"?Perhaps because I feel Tony a tad more intimate. How long has it been now? 3 years??? And he's seen me on my every angles. Well, almost...;)~ HUGZ

Lots of interesting photos this week. Somewhere I have a photo of my great grandmothers tea house but more importantly, this week has reminded me that I need to find time to cook some of the cake and biscuit recipes that she served in the tea house.

Sepia Saturday

Launched by Alan Burnett and Kat Mortensen in 2009, Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don't have to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history, local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images. If you want to play along, all we ask is that your sign up to the weekly Linky List, that you try to visit as many of the other participants as possible, and that you have fun.
